@ Wayne great work fellar... Its brought me back to amiga.org too ;-)

Here We Go

Is Amiga willing to go public and become a PLC so that community members have the opportunity to become shareholders and have a say in the company direction ?

Is Amiga willing to have a community elected member sit on its board in an unpaid role to be the face of the community ?

Is Amiga willing to have an open day so that press staff from the likes of Amiga.org and Amigaworld.net could visit its offices meet the staff and view some developments ?

Does Amiga still plan to take AmigaOS4 back in house after Hyperion's final release ?

Without breaking NDA's can Amiga comment on how many licences have been issued for OS4 compatible hardware ?

Does Amiga own any AmigaOnes and is there any OS4 development going on in house ?

Are the $50 coupons ever going to be refunded ?

Its now six years since Amino bought the Amiga assets from Gateway. From an Amiga Inc point of view not a lot has been done to raise the profile of the platform. As a once quoted "Amiga Evangalist" surely you are saddened by Amiga's place in the market. Are there any initatives planned for raising the profile of the platform beyond the retro hobby niche market ?

Would Amiga Inc be willing to fund the development of much need applications to the plaftorm, EG: a browser and office suite ?

What is Amiga Inc's plans for OS4 and OS5 ?

Recently we at 3CAG contacted Amiga regarding attending a UK Amiga show (Big Bash 4). However, all correspondence has gone unanswered. Even if using the offical method laid out on the Amiga Inc website. Would you be willing to send a representative ? (www.amigabigbash.net)

Are Amiga trying to distance themselves from the legacy platform and OS ?

With regards to "OS5" and the plan to take OS4 back in house.

Will we see AmigaDE (AA) ported to OS4 to become OS5 and remain tied to PPC architechture of the current crop of licencees.

or

Will we see OS4 ported to VP to sit ontop of AmigaDE (AA) to become OS5 and become hardware independent ?
If this is the case are Amiga willing to support the current motherboards from it board licencees or will customers have to change there hardware to what Amiga specify for OS5 ?

It was recently reported that Amiga Inc have been in talks with the new Commodore brand owners. Can you discuss any of these plans ? It would be good to see a reunion of the 2 brands.
How commercially viable does Amiga think a new Low cost PPC based Commodore Amiga running OS4 is ?

@ Bill M.

Did you read the proposed questions on amiga.org before the final 25 were selected and wish you hadn't offered ?
